Sir Gawain and the Green Knight - Facing Page Translation

By: James Winny

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight - Facing Page Translation

By: James Winny

The fourteenth-century poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is one of the greatest classics of English literature, but one of the least accessible to most twentieth-century readers. Written in an obscure dialect, it is far more difficult to digest in the original than are most other late medieval English works. Yet any translation is bound to lose much of the flavour of the original. This edition of the poem offers the original text together with a facing-page translation. With the alliterative Middle English before the reader, James Winny provides a non-alliterative and sensitively literal rendering in modern English. This edition also provides an introduction, explanatory and textual notes, a further note on some words that present particular difficulties, and, in the appendices, two contemporary stories, The Feast of Bricriu and The Knight of the Sword, which provide insight on the poem.

Thunder of Time

By: James F. David

Ten years ago, the prehistoric past collided with the present as time itself underwent a tremendous disruption, transporting huge swaths of the Cretaceous Period into the world of the twentieth century. Entire neighborhoods and cities were replaced by dense primeval jungles and modern humanity suddenly found itself sharing the earth with fierce dinosaurs. In the end, desperate measures were taken to halt the disruptions and the crisis appeared to be over. Until now. Slowly at first, but with increasing frequency, time begins to unravel once more. What's worse, Nick Paulson, Director of the newly-formed Office of Security Science, discovers that the time displacements are being manipulated by unknown parties, utilizing a mysterious new technology. Indeed, the very integrity of the space-time continuum appears to be at risk. To preserve both the future and the past, Nick and his allies must uncover the secrets hidden within in a lost temple at the center of a dino-infested jungle–and in an enigmatic structure on the surface of the moon. But they are not alone in their quest. A cult of ruthless fanatics is also intent on controlling the time waves, and they will stop at nothing to reshape history to their own design . . . . At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

No Good Deed

By: James Fleming

While a sociopathic jihadist readies a sadistic attack, a poor African-American woman from Mississippi quiets the debilitating buzz in her head by deflecting hurricanes, subduing warring air forces, and shielding the innocent. Can she pursue her calling without drawing powerful attention? The INR, a secretive State Department agency knows what she is. Their newest operative, a patriotic F.B.I. prodigy, tracks her across the Middle East and learns that she is unlike any of his previous targets. Glamorous cityscapes, bold costumes, and cute alter-egos are useless to an exhausted, lonely twenty-four year old evading the man she wants to call ally. Reader advisory: contains adult situations, adult language, and violence.

A Buddhist's Shakespeare

Affirming Self-deconstructions

By: James Howe

The essential Buddhist perspective, Howe argues, is that "reality" lacks the solidity which we habitually assume it has, and that therefore the appropriate attitude toward life is to play it as we would a game - with unusual seriousness, for itself rather than for any ulterior motive, even that of investing it with meaning. Howe also demonstrates that the "real" subject of representational art is always just itself. The significance of such art depends upon the concession that it has no significance. In the same way, it is precisely the self-deconstructive nature of Shakespeare's plays which makes their Buddhist-like affirmative positions visible."--BOOK JACKET.
